What is the difference between a footstool and an ottoman?
A footstool is a compact piece designed for resting your feet only, while an ottoman is often larger and may come with built-in storage. However, since both can provide extra seating as well as a comfortable place to put your legs, the names are sometimes used interchangeably. Our footstools come in classic and contemporary shapes, with upholstered finishes that can coordinate with your sofa or armchair.
Can you use a footstool or ottoman as a coffee table?
Can you use a footstool or ottoman as a coffee table?
While you can use footstools and ottomans as coffee tables, there are a few things to bear in mind, such as the squishiness of the upholstery. You need a firm, flat surface if you’re placing drinks on your footstool – adding a tray is a sensible idea. Consider getting an ottoman made from stain-resistant and wipe-clean materials to help prevent spills from marking. You’ll find a wide selection of ottomans, footstools and coffee tables in our collection.
Should your footstool match your sofa?
Should your footstool match your sofa?
Whether or not your footstool matches your sofa depends on your decor and personal preference. Many of the sofas and armchairs in our collection have matching ottomans available, upholstered in the same fabric and colourway for a cohesive look. Adding a pop of colour or pattern with contrasting upholstery on the stool makes for an interesting focal point. Coordinate footstools with throw cushions and curtains in similar prints or textures for an eclectic mix-and-match effect.
Should a footstool be higher or lower than the sofa?
Should a footstool be higher or lower than the sofa?
A footstool should be slightly lower than the seat height of your sofa in order to provide ergonomic support without placing strain on your joints. An ottoman design that sits level with the seat of your armchair or couch is a handy way to create a chaise effect, perfect for lounging. In our collection, you’ll find upholstered footstools with deep padding and soft fabrics that let you elevate your feet in comfort and style.
